Adding an option to change monitor socket opening timeout the current default is 3 seconds and in some cases it's not enough
This should change the *default* to something way bigger than 3 seconds, since lots of people are hitting this. Just look at the dozen Ubuntu forum posts and many other bug reports:

Sure it can be configurable if you want, but I don't want to have to tell each and every libguestfs user that they should change this to something sensible. Make the default something much larger.
I agree with you here, we could change it to at least 5 seconds *and* make it configurable. I'll propose the change of the default in separate patch and try reviewing this ASAP. Martin
